Say It Ain’t So.. Dylan Ratigan moving to MSNBC….
Jeff Macke, Tim Strazzini, Dylan Ratigan, Guy Adami, and Eric Bolling of CNBC's "Fast Money", preside over the Market Open Wednesday, January 3, 2007 at NASDAQ's MarketSite in New York City.
UGH What a disappointment! Ugh! All this drama and he is STILL working for NBC Universal?! And at their WORST biggest JOKE lowest rated channel? The frat boy infested Tweety and Obotmann channel? Ugh, well I would cut my damn hand off before I give those POS a second of my time…sorry Dylan but bad bad choice
You know, not for nothing, but Dylan was having moments of sheer Jon Stewartness as in the Stewart Cramer ‘interview’ or ‘lecture from an uninformed comedian with delusions of grandeur’ as I call it..I miss Dylan and this is just sad…I think MSNBC is a home of narcissism and ego, sad to see him use his financial experience to help cheerlead the fascistic interference with private property and the individual…sigh…
I am really disappointed :0(
NEW YORK (AP) — Former CNBC “Fast Money” host Dylan Ratigan has landed a new daytime program at MSNBC.
Ratigan’s new show will air on the news network from 9 to 11 a.m. Eastern Time. MSNBC had few details about what it will be, other than a mixture of talk and news with a distinct personality.
It marks a continued shift away from actual news programming to more personality-driven shows on cable news networks. Ratigan’s show will start on June 29.
Ratigan’s move was a mild surprise, considering he had quit CNBC five weeks ago.
Dylan Ratigan on why he left CNBC…
The only shows I am still watching on CNBC are The Call and Kudlow; hope Immelt is happy with the Zucker effect….
TBI Exclusive Interview (go read the whole piece!):
..There have been lots of rumors echoing around that star-CNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan stormed out of CNBC after feuding with bosses Mark Hoffman and Susan Krakower, that he’s headed straight to ABC for a big-time broadcast slot, and that he can’t go on-air for the next 6 months because of some ridiculous, spiteful clause in his CNBC contract.
Is it all TRUE??? Inquiring minds want to know!
So we asked Dylan himself, who was kind enough to share 20 minutes with us. …
Some hilights:
…It’s not even that some of the things aren’t true. Did I fight with management? Sure. Did I fight with everyone in management all the time? Absolutely not. Did it have anything to do with the departure? Absolutely nothing… People think that my departure was in some way a reflection on CNBC. I’m telling you, it was a reflection on me….

Dylan: One, it became apparent to me that there had been some major policy failures in America. While clearly pursuable at a place like CNBC, in my opinion, they are more broadly pursuable from a wide variety of other news platforms.
Blodget: Such as?
Ratigan: Pick them. ABC, CBS, HBO, MSNBC, CNN, FOX. When you’re dealing with economic problems, you want to be speaking from an economic platform. When you’re dealing with systemic policy failures that have rendered a catastrophe the likes of which we’ve really never seen, the role of journalism is to ask questions of money and power from the broadest possible platform…
Homage to Dylan Ratigan’s CNBC Days…
While we wait to see where Dylan appears next, the WOTS is ABC ,
I refreshed before publishing and Dylan has Tweeted confirmation he is moving to ABC,
Okay, Najarian says it is a fake Twitter, LOL!! Hey he has a non compete clause so they can’t say much…we know he will go somewhere :0)
Former CNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan is probably headed to ABC News. When? We don’t know.
Earlier, “Ratigan” confirmed the move on Twitter: “yes, going to ABC stay tuned,” he said.
But CNBC regular Jon Najarian says the “dylanratigan” account on Twitter is fake.
Earlier: This move, which has been rumored since Ratigan quit his job at CNBC last week, could give Ratigan a much larger, broader audience than he had at NBC’s business cable network.
Reached for comment, ABC rep Jeffrey Schneider wouldn’t discuss the supposed deal, probably because he can’t: Ratigan reportedly has a six-month noncompete clause with CNBC. Schneider did tell us the same thing he told the AP last week: “We think the world of Dylan Ratigan.”..

The remake of the Charlie/Dylan ‘What I Got’ episode just splits my sides every frakkin time….
